HEMA - High intensity duel (Sigi Montante vs The Iberian twohanded trainer)

[@dequitem]

This small duel is made of two sparring sessions with Philipp Lechner (Philipp in red and golden legs, me with the brown plush trousers). He is one of the best german longsword fencers and already won the german longsword titel in 2022. Yes I beat him with the Zweihänder / Montante a couple of times, but he is defenetly the faster and deadlier fencer with longswords. I had to close the distance as fast as possible to beat him in close combat. The sword is made by Sigi Forge. sigiforge.com/products/sigi-montante/

[@doppelsoldner]

For context Dequitem(brown legs) and me (golden Legs) had almost 4 Hours of sparring in the burning sun.. where we could tear into each other with these huge montantes… I can really say kudos to you Dequitem for being a very skilled fencer with excellent grappling and the stamina and power of a real athlete. Really pushed ourselves to the Limits here, and I took Home a Lot of learnings from our sparrings Maybe we can repeat that someday

[@dequitem]

I really enjoyed fencing and filming with you. You are a very talented fencer and I also learned new stuff about Ochs thrusts! I am absolutely looking forward for our next duels. I have currently a second armor from a friend at home so next time a knight fight?

[@DannyCurrinton]

@@dequitem the respect in the knight community is there, love it!

[@BADALEX1]

Excellent work the pair of you.

[@notfunnnydude]

The chivalry still exist

[@kitsunehistory]

Kudos for both of you, Dopps and Requirements. Good fight.

[@obscurix2522]

the online HEMA community as a whole seems to say high intesity sparring with steel Montantes is wholly unsafe. glad to see you dont subscribe to that idea

[@dequitem]

Video exactly about that topic at Saturday!

[@BernasLL]

I'm sure they subscribe to it to some degree. You can always do more dangerous stuff with a partner you can trust, this isn't random sparring. And you're not seeing the flow you see so often in montante manuals, they likely both agreed to limitations. I guess we'll have to find out Saturday :)

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

I wonder how many of the "online HEMA community" are actually out their in gear sparring. I doubt it. Two of the largest so-called "HEMA" channels are run by fat puer aeternus who do not train but present themselves as experts. So I would question anything. I read a long thread by a little boy explaining in detail how swords are used by cavalry from the horse showing clearly he DID NOT know what he is talking about. Anyway ... I think I have seen Montante sparing elsewhere and it looked safe enough to me. But then don't listen to me - I don't train either (no club near me) so what do I know? I would train lots if I had the chance.

[@efafe4972]

dude i haven't seen a single thing this guy does that is considered safe. that's why his vids are so good

[@dequitem]

@@BernasLL you only do the flow from manuals if you fight against multiple opponents. In a duel flow will tell your opponent what you do next.

[@BrendanSchmelter]

I love these videos because they show the brutal reality of ancient combat. Each one is a savage knife fight; where no one walks away unbloodied.

[@BaconHer0]

The last part was like: "I wish I had a dagger"

[@Entersillyman]

hello bacon hero deus ex how is your dragon's tooth sword

[@BiggestMarph]

The manuscripts have come to life. Well done gentlemen.

[@finalfursonavii8635]

i always love seeing the swords being used to close the distance and it suddenly getting up close and personal with the wrestling... its so desperate and amazing

[@dashrendar5320]

Fantastic as always, my friend truly a pleasure to watch

[@dequitem]

Thanks.

[@raizer2810]

Imagine just casually taking a walk and thinking you've encountered a Nazgul training center.

[@samc9133]

This might be one of my favorite videos yet! The swordplay looks quite elegant while still looking like you are trying to cause some damage.

[@BthLoveLasafba]

every day i see your videos i get the surge to start doing this - i love them 🙏🙏🙏🎉🎉

[@dequitem]

At Saturday will also come a special video about the swords and safety in my fights. So Saturday will also be a good day for you 😅

[@TheA.K.]

That has to be an intense workout! Good show!

[@dequitem]

It was over 40 degrees Celsius. It nearly destroyed my camera. The heat was horrible!

Program?

You can hear the bruises on this one.

[@lucaswallace7476]

That the sets lasted as long as they did was impressive and says a lot about the skill of both of you.

[@Treetimedragons]

1:11 That is beautiful! I never knew you could do that with a sword!😍

[@twobob8585]

As always, an amazingly realistic looking and bloody hot video.

[@qualityplasmid7260]

That was a beautiful fight. One of your bests in my opinion. Lots of technicality ! 1:08 That was a splendid move, and the 1:25 takedown was superb too !

[@dequitem]

Techniques are much easier to deliver without armor.

[@dustydesertdisciple6290]

This was a bloody damn good fight. God bless.

[@Cozonac3000]

I love the sound of 2 swords clashing. 1:27 nice takedown.

[@A_Moustached_Sock]

Awesome. Youre like the only other person out there Ive seen that will spar with steel montante in contemporary gear. First time I bought mine I got told (with the exception of my instructor) by the HEMA community as a whole that its too unsafe to spar with at full speed, that it will "shred the fencing mask" and other such things. I've been working on a video since about April on a different channel. I hope if you dont mind mentioning your channel and this video specifically to help illustrate the points Im making in regards to safely sparring with the steel trainer Montante.

[@dequitem]

You can use futtage of this video for the video you discript and of course you can mention me. There will be a second video at Saturday about safety with montante in sparring. Mayby this will help too.

[@A_Moustached_Sock]

@dequitem I appreciate it. The video was planned to be published by April but I continued having health or personal setbacks. Thank you again.

[@TheHolyPapadum]

Fantastic skill shown by both fighters, some great grappling at the end too. Must have been hard fighting in that heavy kit on what looks like a hot day.

[@jylbo]

Awesome sparring, especially after 4 hours in that heat ! Glad to see you're not afraid of training with steel Montante, what a astonishing weapon.
